Best venue! Our venue coordinator was amazing she made sure everything was perfect. Food was great and the view was amazing we are so happy we chose to have our wedding here.

Tara
The venue coordinator was the best to work with – easygoing and professional during the entire process, and made us feel very welcome. We booked over a year in advance and communicated throughout the process. Was quick to answer any questions as well as offer advice. The rest of the staff was friendly and helpful. All of our guests had a great time. The venue itself is beautiful, inside and out. Monte de Oro only allows one wedding per day and being the only wedding on site was a huge plus. We absolutely recommend Monte de Oro without hesitation!
